Re: Anyone want to start a FULL-FILLED support group?

December 30, 2011

I would. I've been away from IOWL for a year or so and have been steadily

gaining weight and hating myself for it. But I pre-ordered the book in a

moment of.... not desperation... more of a moment of " my inner self

sneaking out for a bit and taking control of what I need " .

Anyway, it came yesterday and I read the intro about starting a support

group. I immediately thought of all the IOWL messages I delete without

reading. I thought I should start reading them again. And what's the

first one? Yours! Asking for a new group. Can you say " fate " ?

So, I guess I'm ready to take back my life and start living again. (ok....

I'm crying now) Ready to stop hating myself. Ready to be rid of emotional

eating once and for all!

I'm in. I have been a closet deleter, non contributor too.

I'm right there with you! I joined this group right after I found 's

podcasts, but I haven't used it at all. What a waste!

I, too, have been letting my emotional eating get out of control. I have all the

podcasts downloaded, but I don't listen to them as I should. I get distracted

and have to keep rewinding. It gets frustrating, and I give up. I was so glad

that published this book so that I can follow it now, and have easy access

to all the wisdom later.

Anyway, last summer I found a new MD who studied with Weil in Arizona. We

were working together to add more healthy foods to my diet, find activities I

enjoyed and could use for exercise. It was going great until my adult son moved

back home. He got a job near us and will stay with us until his schedule

stabilizes and he can find his own apartment. I can't stop living like he is

here for a school break or vacation. I'm fixing our old favorite meals, buying

extra snacks, hanging around watching movies, and generally acting like it's a

holiday--since August! We had a talk about this the other day, and we have

decided to end the holiday and start living like we should. He's not one to

follow a weight loss book, so I'm looking to you and others on this page to

provide mutual support.

Tell me about yourself. What are your main struggles with weight?

I'm new to this type of communication, so bear with me, Patti! I thought I had

replied before, but I don't see the post anywhere.

Anyway, it seems that we share the same struggle. I keep asking myself, " How did

I let this happen?! " I know that I need to be active and eat healthily to stay

in shape, but now I am almost 50 lbs. overweight, and can't seem to get myself

to do what I need to do.

I've downloaded the posdcasts, and have listened to many of them. I get

distracted, though, and have to keep backing up and replaying them. I'm hoping

that I do better with the book. I'm going to give it the six weeks called for,

and do my best.

I'm a little older than most of those who post--63--and am so afraid that I will

get too old to get my health back. Not that it's been all that bad, but I am

close to being put on meds for blood pressure and cholesterol, and I want to

avoid that. I don't want to start relying on chemicals to keep me alive!

Tell me about yourself and what your struggles are with weight. I'm sure we can

help and support each other, and maybe even a few others will get on board.

has a page of Facebook that I " liked " today. I'm hoping that we can get

some extra insight from that. She also has an online class, but there is an

additional cost for that, so I'm passing on that for now.

Hope to hear back from you soon!

I'd love to join a group too. I have listened to many of the podcasts and I

thought that they would really work for me. But, like some have said, I

lost my way. I didn't have a convenient way to listen to them (in the car,

etc.) so I kind of got away from them. I ordered Full-Filled because I feel

that Rene's method is the only one that not only creates awareness of

behavior but also helps you find ways to change the behavior.

For entire 2011 I have been in treatment for triple negative breast cancer.

Now that I'm done with most of the treatments and surgeries, I'm ready to

take control over my health. The first step is to take off some of the

weight that is negatively affecting my health. Hopefully this program will

help.

Thanks for kicking off a group. Hopefully it will help me not just shove

the book aside in mid-January when my motivation wears off.
